Honey Oat Pan Rolls

This month I'm joining in on the Improv Cooking Challenge hosted by Nicole from Cookaholic Wife! Each month she gives us two ingredients as a starting point, what we make is up to us.  For January, these ingredients are oats and honey.

These are two ingredients that my family is fond of, and I've made lots of recipes using them each on their own, but only a few using them together, like these Overnight Oats.  I sat down and started scrolling through my Pinterest boards to see what I could find.

I decided to go with these Honey Oat Pan Rolls by Arlene B. from Taste of Home.  I've made great strides in conquering my fear of yeast baking over the past few years.  It's even easier now that my new oven has a bread proofing cycle!

I didn't make any changes to the recipe this time.  I should have kneaded the dough maybe a minute or two more, but they were delicious nonetheless.  Next time, I would reduce the number of rolls to 18, making them a bit larger, and adjust the baking time if needed.

Thanks so much to Nicole for hosting and be sure to stop by and check out what all the other participants are sharing for this month's challenge using the links below! Want to see recipes from past challenges?  You can find them on the Pinterest board



Honey Oat Pan Rolls


Yield: 24
Author:

ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (2 1/2 to 2 3/4)
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 packages active dry yeast (1/4 ounce each)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 5 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 large egg

instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat water, honey and 4 tablespoons butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Add egg; beat on high 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  2. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 24 balls. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°. Bake 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Melt remaining butter; brush over rolls. Remove from pan to a wire rack.

Those look delicious Jolene.
So jealous of that bread proofing cycle. I live in a historic drafty house and yeast is not my friend!
I'm hungry just looking at these!

I'm still working on perfecting yeast - but seeing these makes me want to try again today!
I just got a new smart oven for Christmas with the proof setting. LOVE it. Your rolls look delicious.

A perfect way to up our dinner game!

Drafts and temperature regulation have always been my biggest barrier to yeast baking, so I'm really glad I chose this model!
Jolene said…
They disappeared very, very quickly!

I'm definitely not putting myself into the "mastered" column yet, but I'll happily continue to eat the results of my tests :)
Jolene said…
It's such a great tool. I could never find a non-drafty, temperature regulated spot to get good rises out of things.
Jolene said…
Absolutely, they're just that little something extra to put it over the top :)

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker.  For the pepperoni pi
